Problem Description: 

4058675 - 
On certain SGI IRIX NFS servers with "metadisk" filesystems (filesystems
striped across two or more disks), SNC 3.1 is often unable to see any
directories or files in these exported partitions.
 
The unusually large offsets in these SGI metafilesystems are the source of
our problems -- the d_off members of the dirent structs are huge, triggering
a safety check that limits them to 32bit *signed* values.

 
4075033
When running 16-bit legacy applications on a 32-bit OS NT, duplicate
filenames appear in the file chooser window. This patch is an NT only
patch.

4080340
Ghostview 2.3 (Ghostscript 5.0.3) can't display files which are located on a NFS mounted
drive. You get an error from gsview:

 This patch is packaged as a self-extracting compressed file (10533503.exe).  
 It must be installed from NT.  The setup program backs up the original 
 file(s).  It then installs the new file(s) and a patch uninstall utility. 

 To install, download 10533503.exe to a temporary directory on the PC.  
 
 In NT , select "Run" from the "Start" menu.  Enter the path and 
 patch filename (Example: c:\temp\10533503) then select "OK".  

 The patch will uncompress and start the setup program automatically.  
 Follow the setup program prompts to complete the patch installation.  

 Restart NT. 


Patch Removal Instructions:

 In NT  click "Start".  Then select "Programs", "Patch 10533503"
 and click on "uninstallSHIELD".  

 WARNING - The patch uninstall program restarts NT at the end
           of the uninstall process.
 

Installation Notes:

 All drive letter and directory name references are Solstice Network Client
 defaults. If you have installed Solstice Network Client or the patch file on 
 a different drive, or in a different directory, substitute your 
 drive and directory names in the example commands above.
